Don't Recommend - Poor QC and Customer Service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality control on this is abysmal. Within a few months of owning, they snapped at the hinges. I can not longer wear them, as the headphone just dangles off when I try to put them on. I took very good care of them, didn't work out in them, and only ever transported the headphones in their provided case. Look online, and you will see that snapping at the hinge is a common problem. Despite only owning them for a few months, and the fact that they snapped out of the blue while I was wearing them, Sony refused to help. They claimed their warranty doesn't cover "accidental or physical damage". This is a known problem, and I am so disappointed with how Sony handled this. I am now out several hundred dollars. I wouldn't recommend this product until they get their QC under control (or at least until their warranty actually covers anything...).
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
